the window works somrtimes then quits, have tried resetting computer by taking batt cable loose for 30 minutes then reconnecting, sometimes when you open and slam the door it will work, also the switch seems to move farther up and down sometimes which triggers it to work, but most of the time nothing makes it work.

It sounds like a bad switch. To be sure, you need to remove the door panel and check if there is power going to the motor when it isn't working. If there is power, then the motor may be bad. Regardless, based on your description, it sounds like a bad switch if it moves further than it should.

Let me know if you have other questions.

Could also be a cut wire inside the door conduit, see that more times than I can count...
